Netflix's ‘Greatest Roasts of All Time: Tom Brady' was surely a moment in not just NFL history but in all of sports. It gathered together key pieces of the New England Patriots dynasty along with other prominent names in the industry. One of them was Dana White. The Chief Executive Officer of the UFC was sitting in attendance and comedian Jeff Ross could not help but take the opportunity to joke about him. This live crowd erupted after a joke about him and Michael Vick was thrown into the air.
“Look at this, talk about a legend in the room. Pull back I want to see if he brought the whole cast of queer eye. Dana, who are these guys? Are these guys neutered? What the f*** is going on? I love you, Dana, you’re like Michael Vick, but with human beings,” the comedian said at the Roast of Tom Brady.
The camera panned out to the ones sitting next to the UFC head honcho. It was Sean O'Malley and Max Holloway that Jeff Ross was referring to in the joke. Both of them, along with the crowd and millions of Patriots and NFL fans, did not take offense to this at all. In fact, they just burst into laughter after the punchline was thrown.
UFC CEO throws the jokes
The UFC head honcho was not only at the Roast of Tom Brady to be made fun of. He also got to throw jokes. Dana White got an opportunity to throw a jab in the air. However, it was not directed to a person nor anything that was in the room. Instead, it was about Netflix and his discontent about just getting meager screen time. This was despite him and his crew having traveled a very long distance.
“You guys gave me 60 seconds? My name is Dana!” he declared.
The UFC head honcho then dropped a lot of praise for the fighters that were with him during the NFL legend's roast. He called both of them the ‘baddest dudes in the world.' Moreover, Dana White poked back at Jeff Ross too.
“One more thing. You people probably don’t know this, but Jeff Ross was very interested in the UFC. He thought it meant Unlimited Fried Chicken!” he exclaimed as the crowd went wild.
One would think that the UFC CEO would have caused more fans to go up cheering had they given him more time to do his jokes. He may have even gotten to address the Michael Vick joke if the opportunity presented itself. Nonetheless, this was still a successful event that was able to reunite the Patriots faithful, NFL fans and other avid spectators of the sports world.
